We do rely on repositories to discriminate on the quality of applications. As I stated some are accessible and run by our community.

I simply disagree on the methods proposed (suspend_blockers) and some of the rationale used for promoting them (volume of otherwise unsupported units). igor _______________________________________________ linux-pm mailing list linux-pm@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://lists.linux-foundation.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-pm
